lmod has incorrect SYS_LUA_CPATH on arm64

[Tim Haines]

lmod-6.6-0.3/disco has SYS_LUA_CPATH set incorrectly on arm64. The current path contains "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu", but should be "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu". This stems from the lmod configure script invoking the lua executable on the build host in order to determine the necessary directories (see configure.ac:615) which is then propagated to the lua files via makefile.in:236.

Description-en: Lua based environment modules
 Lmod is a Lua based module system that easily handles the MODULEPATH
 Hierarchical problem. Environment Modules provide a convenient way to
 dynamically change the users' environment through modulefiles. This
 includes easily adding or removing directories to the PATH environment
 variable. Modulefiles for Library packages provide environment variables
 that specify where the library and header files can be found.
